Obituary.


| Another OF our aged citizens is dead. Johi
| o. Sargent, at the age of nearly 10 years, ha'
| joined the great majority on the other side
| A good and highly respected neghbor has de
| parted, and a bereaved family mourn the sud
| den death of loved husband and father.
Mr.. Sargent was born in Gloucester, Mass.
| Dec. Is. 1911. During the first three years
| OF his life, or at any rate during part OF
/ that period, his father, Capt. Sargent com
| manded the garrison at Cape Ann. We have
| heard Mr.. Sargent say that he remembers VS.
| 'tng the garrison when he was less than three
| years Of age, while hi father was the officer
| com handing.
John o. Sargent was the third child In a
family OF eleven children. nine sons and two
daughters. Eight Of the sons and one Of the
daughter are still living, the oldest OF the fam
lis being Mr.. Benjamin G. Sargent, who is
now seyenty-nine years Of age. Among the
brothers are Hon. Wyer G. Sargent of sar-
genhille. aged Il. and Hon. William II. Sar-
gent OF Castine.
The Sargent family moved to Scdgwick

known as Brchlanl. which later became \

A SUPPLY OF SAND.

n S. Woods, civil engineer of the Ft. Scott
railroad, has erected works on the Big river
by which he can take large quantities of
sand from the bed of the river and dump it
into wagons. These works are situated in
the river at the foot of Sherman avenue and
consist of four fat boats fifty-four feet long,
and bound together by strong beams. The
sand is taken from ths bed of the river by
means of dredge worked by pullies in q
frame work over the boats. The sand is
dropped into small dump cars which are run
up an inclined track to large reservoir On
the shore, where it is deposited ready
to be loaded into wagons. This reservoir
contains one hundred bins, each holding one
yard of sand, and is dumped into wagons
without any labor. The entire machinery is
run by twentyfour horse power hosting
engine located on boats. Mr.. Woods says
river, in addition to being cleaner than the
sand on the sand bars, is coarser and Of SUI
perior quality for plastering. With this
machinery high water will not pre-
vent getting the sand, which may prove
great convenience this summer.
From Sherman avenue the piling now
being driven around the island could be dis
tinctly seen. The reporter asked Mr.. Woods
what he thought of these encroachments.
After little reflection he said Now don't
want you to tell what l say because there is
liable to be trouble about this thing. But
do not think there is any danger from these
encroachments yet. You see Alderman over
there is driving his piles parallel with the
current; in the lands he takes some of the
river and where the island projects he leaves
it outside the piles to be washed away. You
see the river is full OF sand bars and it is my
opinion that if the river was confined to g
channel six hundred feet wide it would not
| increase the danger of overflow but would
be positive benefit by cutting deeper
channel But lie said the liver should fol-
safety be kept as wide as he stated.

A POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

Yesterday burly tuff was making things
streets, when policeman arrived on the
scene. The fellow refused to march toward
the cooler, and as the officer commenced to
force him some of the tufts friends COM
menced to put in in his behalf. A gentleman
who saw the affair started for another pc
Iiceman. He went to the Douglas avenueSde-
pot before being able to find one. They
started back, and before arriving on the
scene Of the supposed trouble the lone officer,
assisted by citizen, had got away with the
mob of tufts and landed some of the gang in
the cooler.
The gentleman who had made the run
for en- assistant officer was decidedly
affirmations in his opinion that an officer
should be stationed at police headquarters all
the time-day and night. Whenever an Off
Ger is needed telephone to the Office station,
as they do in all other cities Of Importance,
and get one on the ground Immediately.
..You remember" he said, ''where repeat
edly within the last few months people have
been visited by robbers and would try to call
ND police headquarters. but there being no
such thing in existence it was a difficult
thing to get an answer. To fiad al officer
in the streets is difficult thing, especially
having to run a mile or two before reaching
any of their beats. The city officials ought
TO create police headquarters with some one
there all the time, who could be notified at
any minute to come TO any point in the city
when needed.

Several prominent capitalists Of New Eng

gentlemen all express themselves as being de-
lighted with the new commercial metropolis
of the west and the solid and rapid manner
in which we were forging our way to the
front. New England capital has given Kan

BETWEEN ACTS.

It was last night that two ladies between
acts at the opera were telling each other how
they were entertained by their fellows. The
newspaper row was not a great distance
away and the small distance was easily over
come by the earnest tones of the converse
tionists.
"Oh. now there's George said the one
with cherry cheeks and dashing black eyes
s'he's none of your 'spoony' fellows. He don't
seem to want to talk about anything but
boom ard building and the great city and
Wichita It's nothing but Wichita from the
time he reaches the parlor until just before
bid him goodnight"
This small synopsis of Georges special en-
tertainiug topic seemed amusing to the
Gstner who wore hat that looked at the
future very much like it had come out Oh
| factory run by the Salvation Army
and under it were new made bangs and an
attractive pair of blue eyes.
"Oh. think it's so silly for fellow to talk
such stuff as that. think should certainly
get the headache if be should make his debut
| in my parlor in that sort of a style.
| "Indeed it makes me awful weary" re-
ioined the other, ''but can't help it. Papa
saws he's good fellow, but don't care If he
does: he amt got that something, don't
know what to call it, that makes an evening
pleasant. In fact do have the worst luck.
Now, there's Jerry, he's another goody y-goody
fellow. He talks about church and how
much he enjoys Rector Adams lectures and
all that kind of stuff. That's all right when
going away from church, but like some
thing funny, you know"

BRICK BLODk.

Messrs J. NJ. Pollock and W. W. Pierce
have for some time been discussing the
scheme of erecting an elegant brick block on
South Topeka avenue. The site proposed Ii
on the east side Of the avenue from the firs'
alley south Of Douglas avenue to Williams
street The space is composed of ten lots
making Que hundred and fifty feet The lot
are one hundred and forty feet deep.
The gentlemen yesterday held another
meeting over the subject and virtually decid
ed to erect building covering all the space
mentioned, being at least three stories high
The block so proposed viii be one OF thf
many handsome ones in the city. 1t vii

WANTS To CHANGE HIS VOTE.

A councilman yesterday was heard to la
ment that he had voted to make the peanut
yenders leave the streets.
"You know that is good business for a
poor man." said he. These lemonade stands.
fruit stands and all such are run by men who
are not able to rent a room and in Wichita
you know there amt any rooms to rent
These fellows are encouraged to hang to bus
mess and in short time they have consider
able money"
Just think for a moment, some Of the
wealthiest men in the city not many years
ago were manipulating fruit stands on the
streets of Wichita. Some of them came here
as petldlers and sold handkerchiefs on the
streets. They were honest and worked hard
every day and soon got start and kept it.
As a result they now live in brick houses,
have strong bank accounts and fine business
establishments. If those fellows had been
crowded out by an unthinking council prob
ably they would have left Wichita and never
been as successful in life.n

SCHOOL BUILDING SITE.

The committee on buildings and grounds
of the board of education yesterday looked
the city over according to instructions, for
deciding upon site of new school build
ing. The school population of the city has
increased so rapidly that the present school
room is by no means sufficient to supply the
demands. As result, it has been decided
to erect in the First, Third or Fourth ward
another building. 1t will be two stories
high, eight rooms and cost about SAC
The committee yesterday failed to reach
any definite conclusion concerning the site.
The question will be decided before many
days. 1t is desired to commence work on
the building at an early date and have il
completed early enough to be used from the
beginning of the next school year.

RAILROAD CROSSINGS.

The daily and persistent howl that looms
up above almost every other in the city Is the
pnralyzing condition Of the railroad cross
ings in the city. A gentleman was heard
Yesterday to speak of the question and stated
that all crossings over the Santa Fe north
and south of Douglas were bad, and some OF
them very bad, scarcely inviting to be
crossed on horseback much less adopted to
driving purposes. The crossing on Oak street
was one used great deal end was costing
the city money every day. The crossings on
the Ft. Scott, W. & W, and all the others
were about as bad. He thought the city
city council had 'fumigated" about long
enough and out to succeed in gaining better
results for the city. Every meeting of the
council petition after petition was
submitted, some praying for better
crossings and others "cussin" hoping to gain
the same result. All had been referred to
the railroad committee with instruction to
invite the companies to make improvements
The results were all about the same being Of
an unincouraging nature. The committee
always reported having seen some of the
railroad officials as called them up to the
phone and introduced the subject to them
and always got what would be tnrmed,
judging from the word-painting, a favora-
ble answer, but judging from results got
something else That was always the report
made and has so far been the sort of dirt fed
the city.
All the while, however, wagons were being
broke down and the city was suffering from
the outrage The gentleman said the council
had the 20 Eer to make the railroad officials
cease imposing on the city and he thought
they ought to be made see the police judge
like other people. ''If private citizens are
to be introduced to the police judge for i'm
posing nuisances On the city, why is not the
same method applied to railroad officials who
commit even greater C. lines against the city.
A councilman was interviewed on the sub
ject and stated that that matter had been
morkeyed with long enough and should de-
mand immediate attention. He thought that
| 'pullin'n would be good scheme to apply
to some stiff necks in the city who are pro-
| life ard almost vociferosS in promises, but
as barren as a clay bank of actions relating
to TIE subjects at issue. Eyes, sir, l am in
favor of making the railroads fix up
their crossings and keeping them in 8
semi-passable condition at least. They have
no more right to impose on this city than the
man who keeps bad alley in the rear of his
business establishment who these days is pull
ed in fine STYLE The council has the power
to give the city decent crossings and you car
rest assured that power will be used. The
street car companies and motor line com
panies will have to be given some of the
same sort of capsules. They too, in many
cases are by far to careless and must remem
bv themselves"

COME AND SEE Us. LADIES.

There has been, first and last, not little
said touching the EAGLES editorial sanctum
and of the spirit of appreciation and gener-
osity evinced by leading citizens and personal
friends in furnishing it in SO royal manner
The EAGLE has quoted number OF these
complimentary notices but has never yet at
tempted description of its belongings nor
even given the names of the generous donors
In truth we do not know them all. Inc
committees have SO far refused to furnlso
the list and to prevent public acknowledge
ment. DR.. d. W. Smith probably spent the
most time and work, our better half placing
and arranging the tasteful details. But we
know the names of the greater number OF
contributors, which we give visitors, even Ii
not permitted to publish them. We now ex-
tend a most cordial invitation to all the Ia
dies of this city and especially to the ladies
whose husbands were instrumental in any
way in rendering our sanctum so delightful
and attractive, to visit us at any hour on
any day between 10 o'clock a. m. and 10
o'clock p NJ, except from to o'clock-our
dinner hour. While our room will
not eclipse those OF many OF
your homes, we ore satisfied that
he taste ard discrimination displayed by
those in whom you are most interested VIII
be gratifying if not a revelation. we are
aware, of course, that ladies as rule, are
averse to taking in the furnishings OF room
with tie nonchalence of the average man,
but this invitation means also that you 10
spect and handle everything at your leisure
and pleasure, including a peek at the busy
street below from our oriel window, assuring
you that all comments and criticisms will be
held as confidential. The room contains
bronzes, plaques and marbles, delphs, royal
W orcesters. onyx, paintings, Doltons, Ger
man and Italian bisques, silk plushes and
Lincrusta Walton and mirrors in profusion,
one of the latter rier effair standing eight
feet high. Please come.
